Pain and Ivy's Bunk
She wasn't acting normally and this didn't feel right. Ivy was obviously having another meltdown and didn't know it. Pain was beyond worried now as Ivy thought he was her master and did his best to fend off her advances. Using his hands he created some space between the two of them and held her at arms length.
"I'm not your Master, Ivy, and you ain't my slave." replied Pain as he looked into her eyes. "I am your boyfriend and you are havin' another meltdown. We are in our bunk and there is no fire. The atmo controls are just actin' wonky."
His eyes bore deep into hers' and he let out a hefty sigh as he continued, "Tommy if you are listenin' I really need your help now. Ivy's lost it and I don't know if I can snap her out of it on my own."
There was a long and awkward pause before Ivy's eyes closed and her head fell forward. When she opened her eyes, Pain knew that Tommy had managed to step forward.
"This is bad, Pain." replied Tommy as she looked into Pain's eyes. "I'll try my best to do what I can, but I don't know how good it'll work. I'm really scared here."
"Me too." replied Pain as he rubbed Tommy's shoulders. "Just do what you can while I see what the progress is on gettin' the atmo controls back online and in workin' order. Dong ma?"

River felt them all from down in her dorm. Even from that distance, it hurt. It wasn't just Ivy. Sure she was having an episode, but her pain was fueled by Pain's inability to help and the helplessness he was experiencing. Then to add to it, Ivy's other persona was trying to break through, but having trouble. That wasn't helping.
She knew they needed help and she got up a little unsteadily and went to where the help was.
She didn't even bother to knock. She went straight into Inara's shuttle where she found Inara and Dr. Garner having tea. They looked up in surprise, but that surprise went quickly into concern.
"Ivy's in trouble. Brainpan's going boom. Burning. Burning. Burning," River said. Realizing that the emotional pain was making her words cryptic, she knew there was a chance they didn't understand. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Pain needs your help."
Upon hearing that, Jacey was to her feet, grabbing her bag and beginning to head out the door. As she got alongside River, the girl reached out and stopped her.
"Tommy can't help. Only Serena can," she said hoping that she was making at least a little bit of sense. Then she added another warning. "No guns."
Jacey nodded, getting the jist of what River was trying to tell her. It was difficult to understand, but Inara had told her in very brief detail that River was unique in some way. She hadn't gotten far on that explanation, but obviously River had some communication problems.
She ran towards Ivy and Pain's bunk. Inara, hearing the comment about guns, ran to find Mal. When Jacey arrived, she did the same thing as River did. She entered unannounced.

Jacey put her hand on Ivy's back. It was obvious that Tommy had broke through. She looked at the fear etched on Tommy's face. Then she told them what they probably didn't want to hear.
"From what I can gather and from the interviews with you all, you know this isn't good," she said as she looked at Tommy. She then looked at Pain. "The episodes are getting worse. If they keep happening, they will kill her."
She turned back to Tommy.
"And she'll take you down as well."
Tommy closed her eyes and sighed deeply in defeat.
"I know," Tommy whispered. "I can't help her like I did before. I am scared."
Jacey nodded at her.
"Then tell me who Serena is."

Pain rushed to put some clothes on Tommy. It was kind of obvious to him that Dr. Garner and River had already seen her naked, but if there were going to be any more people showing up unannounced then it'd be better if she were clothed. He really didn't savor the idea of Jayne seeing his woman buck naked as the day she was born.
Pain also didn't like the idea that these episodes Ivy was having were becoming detrimental to her health. He loved her very much and didn't really feel all to keen on losing her. His whole plan on going to check on what was happening with the atmo controls took a back seat to Ivy and Tommy's ordeal. There was the comm in the room, so he could always check in that way instead of physically heading out.
As Dr. Garner waited for a response from Tommy, Pain did his best to comfort her by being at her side. He was ready and willing to do whatever was needed in case a meltdown should occur or if she just needed a hand to hold and some soothing words to be spoken to her.

Hey Wolf! Long time no see! I'm afraid it's just me and EnglishIvy here. Everyone else seems to have ran off or disappeared. I'm sure they'll welcome you back at the BDV with open arms if they haven't done so already. You could also come over to [url] http://www.theverseonline.com[/url] too if you want. They don't have as many ships as the BDV has, but they could always use more players. I'm a moderator there and it's where I spend most of my time posting, though I still do a little bit of on the BDV. But anyways, it's nice to see that you're alive.

Inara finally found Mal talking to Jayne in the cargo bay. They were making sure that all the sensors on the cargo were running nd keeping things cool. Mal didn't pay Inara any direct attention until he saw the look on her face.
"Ivy?" he asked.
Inara nodded.
"Where?" he continued.
"Their bunk?" she informed him. With a deep breath, she added. "River said 'no guns'."
Mal looked at Jayne and made a beeline to Pain and Ivy's bunk.

"Serena..." Tommy sighed, a sad look on her face. "She was a slave along with Ivy. They became friends and..."
BANG!
A gunshot reverberated though Ivy/Tommy's skull and she visibly flinched.
BANG!
"Let's just say that things didn't end well for her," Tommy tried to explain, but Ivy came screaming back into the forefront... literally. "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ivy's body gave way, sending her towards the ground.
"No... no... noooooooooo..." she wailed as she sobbed. She looked like she was getting some clarity as she looked deep into Pain's eyes then Jacey's. "F...Fi... FIRE! So much f-fi-fire!"
